Hi everyone!
Just recently I did a demo on how to create FAUX Metal Tags! The girls were quite impressed … so I thought I might put a tutorial on my blog to share this technique with you all.
-
- StazOn ink, Vellum card, Metallic card
-
- Repeat if your design requires more tags
-
- Cardstock used for this card
-
- Snip dimensionals to fit narrow frame & stick onto back
-
- Tags set onto scallops – finished card
-
- Another faux tag card
-
- Idea: punch a hole & dangle on a piece of cord
-
- Stamp image on vellum
-
- Colour as you like – I have used crayons
-
- Punch vellum with 1 3/8″ circle punch
-
- Punch metallic with 1 1/4″ circle punch
-
- Centre 1 3/8″ punch around punched circle & punch again
-
- Stick vellum image to metallic ring with 2-way glue pen
-
- I stuck image so colour was on back
-
- Finished Tag
Tags set onto scallops - finished card
I hope you have enjoyed this one … a little “long-winded” … but … hey … I just love sharing! 😀 Here is the final card I made with the tags.
These tags make great accents for very little cost! Don’t buy tags … make your own! You could also do the same technique using white card rather than vellum. I just like the “sheer” look of the vellum.
Hope you all have a great weekend!

Thanks Andrea for the {{great}} tutorial and idea! I never would have thought of this in a million years!! So fun… 🙂 I love the vellum too! Thanks for sharing your super talent… Smiles!! 🙂
Andrea adds: Hi Michelle! Thanks so much for your enthusiasm … but as usual … I did source this idea from Splitcoaststampers! I am indebted to them for ideas for my classes!
